Nena – 99 luftballons 1
Hast Du etwas Zeit für mich, dann singe ich ein Lied für Dich
Von neun-und-neunzig Luftballons auf ihrem Weg zum Horizont
Denkst Du vielleicht grad’ an mich
dann singe ich ein Lied für Dich
Von neun-und-neunzig Luftballons
und dass sowas von sowas kommt
99 Luftballons, auf ihrem Weg zum Horizont
Hielt man für UFOs aus dem All, darum schickte ein General
‘ne Fliegerstaffel hinterher
alarm zu geben, wenn’s so war
Dabei war’n da am Horizon, nur 99 Luftballons
99 Düsenjäger, jeder war ein grosser Krieger
Hielten sich für Captain Kirk, das gab ein grosses Feuerwerk
Die Nachbarn haben nichts gerafft
und fühlten sich gleich angemacht
Dabei schoss man am Horizon auf 99 Luftballons
99 Kriegsminister, streichholz und Benzinkanister
Hielten sich für schlaue Leute witterten schon fette Beute
Riefen: Krieg und wollten Macht. Mann, wer hätte das gedacht
Dass es einmal soweit kommt
wegen neun-und-neunzig Luftballons
99 Luftballons 2x
99 Jahre Krieg liessen keinen Platz fuer Sieger
Kriegsminister gibt’s nicht mehr
und auch keine Duesenflieger
Heute zieh ich meine Runden
seh’ die Welt in Truemmern liegen
Hab’ ‘nen Luftballon gefunden
Denk’ an dich und lass’ ihn fliegen
1000 miles – Vanessa Carlton 2
Making my way downtown
walking fast, faces passed and I’m home bound
Staring blankly ahead
Just making my way, making my way through the crowd
And I need you
And I miss you
And now I wonder
chorus: If I could fall into the sky
Do you think time would pass me by
‘Cause you know I’d walk a thousand miles
If I could just see you
Tonight
It’s always times like these
When I think of you and I wonder if you ever think of me
Cause everything’s so wrong
And I don’t belong living in your precious memories
Cause I need you
And I miss you
And now I wonder
chorus
And I, I don’t want to let you know
I, I drown in your memory
I, I don’t want to let this go
I, I don’t
Making my way downtown etc
And I still need you
And I still miss you
And now I wonder
chorus 2 x
Pretenders – Back on the chain gang 3
Voorstukje
I found a picture of you, oh-oh
Well, it hijacked my world at night
To a place in the past we’ve been cast out of, oh-oh
Now we’re back in the fight
We’re back on the train, yeah
Oh, back on the chain gang
Circumstance beyond our control, oh-oh
The phone, the TV and the news of the world
Got in the house like a pigeon from hell, oh-oh
Threw sand in our eyes and descended like flies
Put us back on the train, yeah
Oh….. back on the chain gang
solootje
The powers that be – that force us to live like we do
Bring me to my knees – when I see what they’ve done to you
Well, I’ll die as I stand here today,knowing that deep in my heart
They’ll fall to ruin one day for making us part
I found a picture of you, oh-oh
Those were the happiest days of my life
Like a break in the battle was your part, oh-oh
In the wretched life of a lonely heart
Now I’m back on the train, yeah
Oh, back on the chain gang
Joni Mitchell – Big Yellow Taxi 4
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot
With a pink hotel, a boutique
and a swinging hot spot
chorus:
Don’t it always seem to go
That you don’t know what you’ve got ’till it’s gone
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot
They took all the trees and put them in a tree museum
And they charged all the people
a dollar and a half to see ‘em
chorus
Hey farmer farmer, put away that D.D.T. now
Give me spots on my apples
but leave me the birds and the bees, please
chorus 2 x
Late last night I heard the screen door slam
And a big yellow taxi took away my old man

Kate Bush – Cloudbusting 6
I still dream of Orgonon, I wake up crying.
You’re making rain, and you’re just in reach,
When you and sleep escape me.
You’re like my yo-yo that glowed in the dark.
What made it special made it dangerous,
So I bury it.. and forget.
But every time it rains, you’re here in my head,
Like the sun coming out
Ooh, I just know that something good is gonna happen.
And I don’t know when,
But just saying it could even make it happen.
On top of the world, looking over the edge,
You could see them coming.
You looked too small in their big, black car,
To be a threat to the men in power.
I hid my yo-yo in the garden.
I can’t hide you from the government.
Oh, God, Daddy, I won’t forget
‘Cause every time it rains, you’re here in my head,
Like the sun coming out etc
It’s you and me, daddy Yeahieyeahieyeah
every time it rains you’re here in my head,
Like the sun coming out, like your son’s coming out,
Ooh, I just know that something good is going to happen.
And I don’t know when,
But just saying it could even make it happen.
Ooh, just saying it could even make it happen.
We’ve been cloudbusting daddy
Your sun’s coming out. Your son’s coming out.
Diep in de zee – De kleine zeemeermin 7
De blaadjes zijn altijd groener in andermans zeewierwoud
Maar als je daar van gaat dromen bega je een grote fout
Waarom ben je niet tevreden met al wat de zee je biedt
Het is hier zo mooi beneden, dat vind je daar boven niet.
Diep in de zee..diep in de zee..
Ik zal je zo missen tussen de vissen, blijf toch beneee….
Daar werken zij de hele dag, nooit hoor je eens een schaterlach.
Laat ons maar drijven met onze lijven diep in de zee
Bij ons is een vis gelukkig, al krijgt ie hier niet veel zon..
Aan land heeft een vis de pest in want daar zwemt ie in een kom
De vis in de kom zal denken, wat duurt hier het leven kort.
Al gauw krijgt het baasje honger en belandt ie op een bord.
Diep in de zee, diep in de zee..
Niemand hier kwelt ons, niemand bestelt ons voor zijn diner
Wij zijn bij mensen in de smaak, toch krijg je ons niet aan de haak.
´t Is veel gezonder, niks geen gedonder hier in de zee
Diep in de zee
´k Zeg het je eerlijk, hier is het heerlijk diep in de zee
Moet je die rog zien en die steur, die zijn in een razend goed humeur
Kijk nou die heren mooi musiceren diep in de zee
Vooruit met de fluit, de karper die harpt
En da´s dus de bas, die klinkt lekker luid
Een koperkwartet, de schol trommelt dol, de poon pakt de saxofoon
De rog speelt ook nog, die grind daar die swingt
Die gaan aan de zwier, die griet daar die zingt
De spiering, de sprot, o, wat een genot, die blaast de borstkas vol
Solo
Diep in de zee, diep in de zee
Al die sardientjes zijn ook mijn vriendjes, yippiejajee
Hier in de zee heb ik het best, wij hebben zelfs een kreeftenorkest
Zorgen vergeet je altijd een beetje diep in de zee
Net als die slakken blijven we plakken hier in de zee
Kijk hem eens blazen als in extase
waar wij naar streven is een goed leven
Wij zijn tevreden heel ver beneden, diep in de zee
Cars – Drive 8
Who’s gonna tell you when
It’s too late
Who’s gonna tell you things
Aren’t so great
You can’t go on
Thinking nothing’s wrong
Who’s gonna drive you home tonight?
Who’s gonna pick you up
When you fall
Who’s gonna hang it up
When you call
Who’s gonna pay attention
To your dream
And who’s gonna plug their ears
When you scream
You can’t go on
Thinking nothing’s wrong
Who’s gonna drive you home tonight?
Who’s gonna hold you down
When you shake
Who’s gonna come around
When you break
You can’t go on
Thinking nothing’s wrong
Who’s gonna drive you home tonight?
Tracey Chapman – Fast Car 9
You got a fast car, I want a ticket to anywhere
Maybe we make a deal, maybe together we can get somewhere
Any place is better, starting from zero got nothing to lose
Maybe we’ll make something, me myself I got nothing to prove
You got a fast car, I got a plan to get us out of here
I’ve been working at the convenience store
Managed to save just a little bit of money
Won’t have to drive too far, just cross the border and into the city
You and I can both get jobs and fin’lly see what it means to be living
See my old man’s got a problem
he lives with the bottle that’s the way it is
He says his bodys too old for working
I say his bodys too young to look like his
My mama went off and left him
she wanted more from life than he could give
I said somebodys got to take care of him
so I quit school and that’s what I did
You got a fast car, is it fast enough so we can fly away
We gotta make a decision, we leave tonight or live and die this way
refr:
I remember when we were driving driving in your car
Speed so fast I felt like I was drunk
City lights lay out before us
And your arm felt nice wrapped round my shoulder
And I had a feeling that I belonged
And I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone
You got a fast car, we go cruising to entertain ourselves
You still ain’t got a job and I work in the market as a checkout girl
I know things will get better, you’ll find work and I’ll get promoted
We’ll move out of the shelter, buy a big house and live in the suburbs
refrein
You got a fast car, I got a job that pays all our bills
You stay out drinking late at the bar
See more of your friends than you do of your kids
I’d always hoped for better, thought maybe together you and me’d find it
I got no plans I ain’t going nowhere, so take your fast car and keep on driving
chorus
You got a fast car, but is it fast enough so you can fly away
You gotta make a decision, you leave tonight or live and die this way
The Pointer Sisters – Fire 10
I’m ridin’ in your car
You turn on the radio
You’re pullin’ me close
I just say no
I say I don’t like it
But you know I’m a liar
‘Cause when we kiss, oh
Fire
Late at night
You’re takin’ me home
You say you want to stay
I say I want to be alone
I say I don’t love you
But you know I’m a liar
‘Cause when we kiss, ooh
Fire
You had a hold on me right from the start
A grip so tight I couldn’t tear it apart
My nerves all jumpin’, actin’ like a fool
Well, your kisses they burn, but my heart stays cool
Well, Romeo and Juliet
Samson and Delilah
Baby you can bet
A love they couldn’t deny
My words say split
But my words they lie
‘Cause when we kiss, oh
Fire
Oh fire Hot kisses like fire
Burn me up with fire I like what you’re doin’ now, fire
Freight train 11
Freight train, freight train, run so fast
Freight train, freight train, run so fast
Please don’t tell what train I’m on
They won’t know what route I’m going
When I’m dead and in my grave
No more good times here I crave
Place the stones at my head and feet
And tell them all I’ve gone to sleep
When I die, oh bury me deep
Down at the end of old Chestnut Street
So I can hear old Number Nine
As she comes rolling by
When I die, oh bury me deep
Down at the end of old Chestnut Street
Place the stones at my head and feet
And tell them all I’ve gone to sleep
Freight train, freight train, run so fast
Freight train, freight train, run so fast

They won’t know what route I’m going
Oleta Adams – Get Here 12
you can reach me by rail way
you can reach me by a trail away
You can reach me on an airplane
You can reach me with your mind
You can reach me by caravan
cross the desert like an arab man
I don’t care how you get here, get here if you can
You can reach me by sailboat

Take a sled and slide down the slope
into these arms of mine
You can jump on a speedy colt
cross the border in a blaze of hope
I don’t care how you get here, get here if you can

There are hills and mountains between us
Always something to get over
If I had my way, surely you would be closer
I need you closer

I don’t care I don’t care i need you right here right now
I need you right here right now, right by my side,yeah, yeah,ooh hooh
I don’t care how you get here, get here if you can
Gathering – great ocean road 13
It is all there
The earth and the ocean
They contain the power of our lives
This beautiful city
that surrenders to the nightfall
Carving the grounds we walk upon
And the air we all dare to ride it somehow
Blue and black is the sky
While tumbling down
Trapped into the freedom of an aeroplane
Deprived of sleep
we jump into the deep
With no knowledge whatsoever
There is no place
on the face
of this earth
Only silence
is the sound
of an angel
Phil Collins – In the air tonight 14
I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord
And I’ve been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh Lord
Can you feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord, oh Lord
Well if you told me you were drowning
I would not lend a hand
I’ve seen your face before my friend
but I don’t know if you know who I am
Well I was there and I saw what you did
I saw it with my own two eyes
So you can wipe off that grin, I know where you’ve been
It’s all been a pack of lies
chorus:
And I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord
Well I’ve been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh Lord
I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord
Well I’ve been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh Lord, oh Lord
Well I remember, I remember don’t worry
How could I ever forget
It’s the first time, the last time we ever met
But I know the reason why you keep your silence up
No you don’t fool me
The hurt doesn’t show but the pain still grows
It’s no stranger to you and me
chorus herhalen
Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers– islands in the stream 15
Baby when I met you there was peace unknown
I set out to get you with a fine tooth comb.
I was soft inside there was something going on.
You do something to me that I can’t explain
Hold me closer and I feel no pain ev’ry beat of my heart
We got something going on.
Tender love is blind, it requires a dedication.
All this love we feel needs no conversation.
Chorus: We ride it together uh huh
Makin’love with each other uh huh.
Islands in the stream, that is what we are
No one in between how can we be wrong
Sail away with me to another world
And we rely on each other uh huh
From one lover to another uh huh.
I can’t live without you if the love is gone
Ev’rything is nothing if you got no one
And you did walk in the night
Slowly losin sight of the real thing.
But that won’t happen to us and we got no doubt
Too deep in love and we got no way out
And the messages is clear
This could be the year of the real thing.
No more will you cry baby I will hurt you never.
We start and end as one in love forever
chorus

Roger Miller – King of the Road 16
Trailer for sale or rent, rooms to let, fifty cents.
No phone, no pool, no pets, I ain’t got no cigarettes
Ah, but, two hours of pushin’ broom
Buys an eight by twelve four-bit room
I’m a man of means by no means, king of the road.
Third boxcar, midnight train, destination, Bangor, Maine.
Old worn out clothes and shoes,
I don’t pay no union dues,
I smoke old stogies I have found short, but not too big around
I’m a man of means by no means, king of the road.
I know every engineer on every train
All of their children, and all of their names
And every handout in every town
And every lock that ain’t locked, when no one’s around.
I sing, trailers for sale or rent, rooms to let, fifty cents
No phone, no pool, no pets, I ain’t got no cigarettes
Ah, but, two hours of pushin’ broom
Buys an eight by twelve four-bit room
I’m a man of means by no means, king of the road.

Tuck n Patti – Learning how to fly 17
When your heart is low feel the breezes blow
It’s all right you just take your time
There’s no hurry now that you’re on your way
When you’re learning how to fly
No more wandering ‘round, step up off the ground
You will find you can glide on by
There’s a magic place that is just for you
When you’re learning how to fly
Chorus:
You’ve always known that this was not your home
You’ve been longing for that place
Where you would not feel so all alone
Well now that time has come for you to fly away
Just breathe on in then breathe on out
And you’ll be on your way
Watch the ocean rise, say your sad good-byes
Don’t be shy, go ahead and cry
There’s a light to guide and you’re really on your way
Now you’re learning how to fly
Now you are flying, rising, floating
Sailing on this blissful ocean
Everything you’ve always wanted now
Learning how to fly
Freedom comes while you are soaring
Far away from cares and longing
Take this moment, open up your eyes
You’re learning how to fly
Repeat chorus
You are higher now, feeling lighter now
So much joy, you just have to go
Feel the greatest love that you’ve ever ever known
When you’re learning how to fly
You are higher now, feeling lighter now
So much joy, you just have to go
Feel the greatest love you have ever known
When you’re leaning how to fly
John Denver – Leaving On A Jet Plane 18
All my bags are packed, I’m ready to go
I’m standing here outside your door
I hate to wake you up to say goodbye
But the dawn is breaking, it’s early morn
The taxi’s waiting, he’s blowing his horn
Already I’m so lonesome I could die
So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you’ll wait for me
Hold me like you’ll never let me go
Cause I’m leaving on a jet plane
Don’t know when I’ll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go
There’s so many times I’ve let you down
So many times I’ve played around
I tell you now, they don’t mean a thing
Every place I go, I’ll think of you
Every song I sing, I’ll sing for you
When I come back, I’ll bring your wedding ring
chorus
Now the time has come to leave you
One more time let me kiss you
Then close your eyes, I’ll be on my way
Dream about the days to come
When I won’t have to leave alone
About the times, I won’t have to say
chorus
I’m leaving on a jet planeDon’t know when I’ll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go

Oceaan – Racoon 20
Er is verrekte veel te zeggen, en te liegen nog veel meer
Heel veel bagger bloot te leggen
al doet het graven nog zo’n zeer
ik ben een eikel maar ik leer
Een oceaan om in te vluchten
Nooit jaloers te hoeven zijn
Liefde om je hart te luchten
Een oceaan hoe lekker zou het zijn
Was er iets waar ik om wenste
voordat de put droog komt te staan
Dan was het lang zullen ze leven
Familie waar ik veel van hou en voor wie ik sterven zou
brug: Een oceaan om in te schuilen
Nooit alleen meer hoeven zijn
Ik heb gesmeekt niet meer te huilen, alsjeblieft
Het leven jaagt geen angst meer aan
Ik heb al zo ver moeten kruipen
Het laatste stuk zal ook wel gaan tot ik ga staan
Een oceaan om in te vluchten
Nooit jaloers te hoeven zijn
Liefde om je hart te luchten
Een oceaan, alleen van mij
Een oceaan om te verzuipen
Een dag of wat een held te zijn
Laat die ander nu maar kruipen
Een oceaan vol tranen is van mij
Alleen van mij

I’ll make it alone
When love is gone
Still you made your mark
Here in my heart

Leave your love to yesterday
What more can your love do for me?
When will love be through with me?
I follow the night
Can’t stand the light
When will I begin
My life again?

Why live life from dream to dream?
And dread the day that dreaming ends?

John Denver – Take Me Home Country Roads 25
Almost heaven, West Virginia
Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River.
Life is old there, older than the trees,
Younger than the mountains, growin’ like a breeze.
Chorus:
Country roads, take me home
To the place where I belong:
West Virginia, mountain momma,
Take me home, country roads.
All my memories gathered ‘round her,
Miner’s lady, stranger to blue water.
Dark and dusty, painted on the sky,
Misty taste of moonshine,
Teardrop in my eye.
chorus
I hear her voice, in the mornin’ hour she calls me,
Radio reminds me of my home far away
And driving down the road I get a feeling that
I should have been home yesterday, yesterday
chorus
Beatles – The long and winding road 26
The long and winding road
That leads to your door
Will never disappear
I’ve seen that road before
It always leads me here
Lead me to you door
The wild and windy night
That the rain washed away
Has left a pool of tears
Crying for the day
Why leave me standing here
Let me know the way
Many times I’ve been alone
And many times I’ve cried
Anyway you’ll never know
The many ways I’ve tried
But still they lead me back
To the long winding road
You left me waiting here
A long long time ago
Don’t leave me waiting here
Lead me to your door
-solo-
But still they lead me back
To the long winding road
You left me waiting here
A long long time ago
Don’t leave me waiting here
Lead me to your door

Trijntje Oosterhuis – Vlieg met me mee 28
Oooh, aaaaah
Laat je hoofd niet hangen, ook al heb je verdriet
de wereld is zo slecht nog niet, het is wat jij er in ziet
kijk maar om je heen
ik wijs je de weg, je bent niet alleen
het leven stelt op zich niks voor, het is wat jij er van maakt
alles wordt nu anders, het is tijd dat je ontwaakt
ga je met me mee
dit is je kans, grijp hem meteen
Refrein
kom vlieg met me mee, over land over zee
want het avontuur ligt ginds achter de horizon
wie of wat je ook bent, dit is het moment
het is nu of nooit, vlieg weg en kijk niet achterom
er ligt meer voorbij die grens dan je ooit denken kon
in elke hoek wacht een verhaal dat je nooit hebt gehoord
beleef je leven als een film, gooi je angst overboord
een dag duurt niet zo lang
doe wat je moet doen en wees maar niet bang

speel je een schurk of een held?
ben je een mooie prinses of speel je jezelf?

Spreid je vleugels naar een goud omrande horizon
Wooden ships – Crosby, Stills & Nash 29
If you smile at me, I will understand
‘Cause that is something everybody everywhere
does in the same language
I can see by your coat, my friend,
you’re from the other side
There’s just one thing I got to know,
Can you tell me please, who won the war?
Say, can I have some of your purple berries?
Yes, I’ve been eating them for six or seven weeks now
haven’t got sick once
Probably keep us both alive
Wooden ships on the water, very free and easy
Easy, you know the way it’s supposed to be
Silver people on the shoreline, let us be
Talkin’ ‘bout very free and easy
Horror — grips us as we watch you die
All we can do is echo your anguished cries
Stare – as all human feelings die
We are leaving – you don’t need us
solo
Go, take your sister then, by the hand
lead her away from this foreign land
Far away, where we might laugh again
We are leaving – you don’t need us
And it’s a fair wind……
blowin’ warm out of the south over my shoulder
Guess I’ll set a course and go…
The Beatles – You can drive my car 30
Asked a girl what she wanted to be
She said, “Baby, can’t you see?
I wanna be famous, a star of the screen”
But you can do something in between
Baby, you can drive my car
Yes, I’m gonna be a star
Baby, you can drive my car
And maybe I’ll love you
I told that girl that my prospects were good
And she said, “Baby, it’s understood
Working for peanuts is all very fine
But I can show you a better time”

Beep-beep, beep-beep, yeah solo
Refr
I told that girl I can start right away
When she said, “Listen, babe, I got somethin’ to say
I got no car and it’s breaking my heart
But I’ve found a driver and that’s a start”
Refr
Beep-beep, beep-beep, yeah
Beep-beep, beep-beep, yeah
Beep-beep, beep-beep, yeah
Beep-beep, beep-beep, yea
